Aspyr, known for its work porting popular PC titles to OS X, has now officially announced the availability of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords for Mac and Linux. The remake/port is currently live at a special launch discount of $6.99 (Reg. $10) via GameAgent (Steam) and the Mac App Store.
